Djurens Rätt (Animal Rights)

“The Animal Right has existed since 1882 and is today Sweden’s leading animal rights and animal welfare organization. We work for all the animals suffering from animal experiments, in the food industry’s animal factories, in cages on fur farms and animals that are used in other ways by humans so that they do not get an outlet for their natural behavior. The Animal Right is a pronounced anti-violence movement, because we believe that neither humans nor animals should be subjected to violence. Through democratic advocacy, political influence and attitude change we want to realize our goal: a world where animals are respected as sentient individuals with the right to their own lives. We work primarily in Sweden but cooperate with other organizations and networks internationally and within the EU.”
